Brilio.net - Cooking in large quantities in the home kitchen often creates a challenging situation in terms of cleanliness, especially on the kitchen floor. Splashes of oil , spilled water, and leftover food that falls can make the floor very slippery. This condition not only interferes with comfort, but also has the potential to cause danger because slippery floors can cause people to slip and fall.
Cleaning slippery floors due to large cooking cannot be done carelessly. If mopped directly without proper handling, the floor can actually become more slippery. This often happens because of soap residue left behind when mopping.
Soap that is not rinsed properly will make the floor surface more slippery. This is certainly not only dangerous, but can also leave an unpleasant fishy smell due to the remains of fat and oil that have not been completely cleaned.
To effectively clean the kitchen floor after cooking a large amount, special steps are needed. If you are confused, you can use the trick shared by TikTok user @bella_fidellia. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to having her own trick when she wanted to mop the slippery kitchen floor.

" After cooking a big meal, the kitchen becomes messy and the floor is slippery because of oil. It takes a long time to clean the floor like this. But my mother taught me to mop the floor with hot water so the oil disappears ," said TikTok user @bella_fidellia as quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (11/22).
Yup! The netizen chose to use hot water to mop the slippery floor. But not only that, he also relied on other cleaning materials, namely dishwashing soap and carbolic acid. So, this mixture of ingredients will later make the floor more fragrant and free from fishy odors.

For further use, simply pour enough hot water into a bucket. Then add a little dish soap and carbolic liquid. If so, stir until all ingredients dissolve in hot water. That way, this liquid can be used directly to mop the floor as usual.
" My mother has been using this method for the past 5 years and the result is that the floor becomes dry. Finally, I often practice it in my old rented house ," said TikTok @bella_fidellia.

The combination of hot water, dish soap, and carbolic acid provides a thorough and effective cleaning. Hot water can help dissolve and loosen dirt, while dish soap emulsifies oil.
Meanwhile, carbolic liquid makes the floor free from germs and odors. By using these three ingredients together, slippery kitchen floors can be returned to being dry, safe, and comfortable to use.
